Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents

They’re a fantastic addition to any meal, providing a hearty and tasty option that’s sure to satisfy. Enjoy the creamy, meaty filling encased in crispy, golden pastry—a true delight for the taste buds!

Ingredients:

  • 16 oz bulk sausage, cooked and crumbled (choose your favorite flavor)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or any preferred cheese)
  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked, crumbled sausage with the softened cream cheese. If you’re using cheddar cheese, mix it in as well. Ensure the ingredients are well blended for a uniform filling.
  3. Prepare the crescent rolls: Open the cans of crescent dough and unroll the dough on a clean surface. Separate the dough into triangles along the perforated lines. For smaller crescents, cut each triangle lengthwise into two narrower triangles.
  4. Assemble the crescents: Place a heaping tablespoon of the sausage and cream cheese mixture on the wider end of each triangle. Carefully roll the dough towards the pointed end, enclosing the filling and forming a crescent shape. Arrange the crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for them to expand during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and puffed up.
  6. Serve: Remove the crescents from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. They’re best enjoyed warm!
